xemu is an active fork of the [[XQEMU]] project, which is based on the very popular and highly actively maintained [[QEMU]] full system emulator project. xemu is a low-level, full-system emulator which emulates the actual hardware of the Xbox. It is ''the'' best Xbox emulator around, and can play 5x more playable titles than [[Cxbx-Reloaded]] with better performance than [[XQEMU]]. | xemu is an active fork of the [[XQEMU]] project, which is based on the very popular and highly actively maintained [[QEMU]] full system emulator project. xemu is a low-level, full-system emulator which emulates the actual hardware of the Xbox.

Unlike all other Xbox emulators (with the exception of XQEMU), xemu will only load games as disk images in the ISO format. Redump ISOs currently must be adjusted slightly by using the instructions in the [https://xemu.app/docs/disc-images Disc Images] guide. Games as extracted folders in the "HDD Ready" format can be converted to ISOs using extract-xiso. It is also possible to install a custom dashboard such as UnleashX that supports installing and loading the games from the emulated hard drive. | Unlike all other Xbox emulators (with the exception of XQEMU), xemu will only load games as disk images in the ISO format.
